To comprehensively compare the effects of a very low-carbohydrate, high-unsaturated/low-saturated fat diet (LC) with those high-unrefined carbohydrate, low-fat (HC) on glycemic control and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Obese adults (n = 115, BMI 34.4 ± 4.2 kg/m(2), age 58 7 years) T2DM were randomized to hypocaloric LC (14% carbohydrate [<50 g/day], 28% protein, 58% [<10% saturated fat]) or an energy-matched HC (53% 17% 30% combined structured exercise...
Aim To examine whether a low‐carbohydrate, high‐unsaturated/low‐saturated fat diet (LC) improves glycaemic control and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in overweight obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods A total of 115 adults T2D (mean [SD]; BMI, 34.6 [4.3] kg/m ; age, 58 [7] years; HbA1c, 7.3 [1.1]%) were randomized to 1 planned energy‐matched, hypocaloric diets combined aerobic/resistance exercise (1 hour, 3 days/week) for years: LC: 14% energy as carbohydrate, 28%...
Very low-carbohydrate diets are often used to promote weight loss, but their effects on bowel health and function largely unknown. We compared the of a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LC) diet with high-carbohydrate, high-fibre, low-fat (HC) indices function. In parallel study design, ninety-one overweight obese participants (age 50·6 (sd 7·5) years; BMI 33·7 4·2) kg/m2) were randomly assigned either an energy-restricted (about 6–7 MJ, 30 % deficit) planned isoenergetic LC or HC for 8...
In overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the benefits of addition exercise to an energy-restricted diet in further improving cardiometabolic risk factors and reproductive function has not been extensively studied.The objective was evaluate effects aerobic aerobic-resistance when combined high protein (5000-6000 kJ/d) on metabolic PCOS.A 20-wk outpatient, randomized, parallel study conducted a metropolitan research clinic.Ninety-four obese PCOS (age 29.3 +/- 0.7 yr; body...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of two low-fat hypocaloric diets differing in carbohydrate-to-protein ratio, with and without resistance exercise training (RT), on weight loss, body composition, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk outcomes overweight/obese patients type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total 83 men women diabetes (aged 56.1 ± 7.5 years, BMI 35.4 4.6 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to an isocaloric, energy-restricted diet (female subjects 6 MJ/day, male 7 MJ/day)...
To compare bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) of body composition using three different methods against DXA in overweight and obese men.Forty-three healthy or men (ages 25 to 60 years; BMI, 28 43 kg/m(2)) underwent BIA assessment the ImpediMed SFB7 (version 6; ImpediMed, Ltd., Eight Mile Plains, Queensland, Australia) multifrequency mode (Imp-MF) DF50 single-frequency (Imp-SF) Tanita UltimateScale (Tanita Corp., Tokyo, Japan). Validity was assessed by comparison linear regression limits...
<h3>Background</h3> Very low-carbohydrate (LC) diets are often used to promote weight loss, but the long-term effects on psychological function remain unknown. <h3>Methods</h3> A total of 106 overweight and obese participants (mean [SE] age, 50.0 [0.8] years; mean body mass index [calculated as in kilograms divided by height meters squared], 33.7 [0.4]) were randomly assigned either an energy-restricted (approximately 1433-1672 kcal [to convert kilojoules, multiply 4.186]), planned...
Effects of dietary weight loss on endothelial function, particularly when combined with exercise training, is largely unknown in type 2 diabetes. We sought to determine whether aerobic training provided any additional improvements oxidative stress or other established markers cardiovascular risk an energy-restricted diet patients diabetes.In a parallel study design, 29 sedentary, overweight and obese diabetes (age 52.4 +/- 1.4 years BMI 34.2 0.9 kg/m(2)) were randomized 12-week moderate...
To compare the effects of an energy reduced very low carbohydrate, high saturated fat diet (LC) and isocaloric (LF) on endothelial function after 12 months.Forty-nine overweight or obese patients (age 50.0 +/- 1.1 years, BMI 33.7 0.6 kg m(-2)) were randomized to either restricted ( approximately 6-7 MJ), planned LC LF for 52 weeks. Body weight, endothelium-derived factors, flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), adiponectin, augmentation index (AIx) pulse wave velocity (PWV) assessed. All data are...
To compare the long-term effects of a very low carbohydrate, high-protein, saturated fat (LC) diet with traditional high unrefined low-fat (HC) on markers renal function in obese adults type 2 diabetes (T2DM), but without overt kidney disease. One hundred fifteen (BMI 34.6 ± 4.3 kg/m2, age 58 7 years, HbA1c 7.3 1.1%, 56 12 mmol/mol, serum creatinine (SCr) 69 15 μmol/L, glomerular filtration rate estimated by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula (eGFR 94 mL/min/1.73 m2))...
Introduction Obesity is associated with reduced testosterone and worsened erectile sexual function in men. Weight loss improves these outcomes. High protein diets potentially offer anthropometric metabolic benefits, but their effects on reproductive outcomes not known. Aim To examine the long-term of weight a higher or carbohydrate diet testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin, dysfunction, lower urinary tract symptoms desire overweight obese Methods One-hundred eighteen men (body mass...
